Episode 103. Joining us from Monterey, Mexico is returning guest, Prof. Michael Le Flem. Our last podcast, episode 71, about Atlantis was one of my all time favourites. He's come back to talk about ancient civilisations and the Yuga Cycle. Ever heard of it? A Yuga Cycle lasts 24,000 years and is made up of gold, silver, bronze and iron ages. Life on earth is paradise in the golden age and awful in the iron age. Unsurprisingly, we're slap bang in the middle of the lowest point of the iron age ...
Episode 102. This is another WILD one. Joining us from Chamonix, France are operative alchemists Roger Lambert and Israel Ruiz. Let's go for a deep dive into the esoteric world of alchemy. It's an ancient art that creates medicines called spagyrics from plants, rocks and metals. Israel takes it to another level - he's possibly the only person in the world practicing the taboo of animal alchemy. His is a CRAZY story. These guys operate on a different level from the rest of us. Oh, and I ...
Episode 101. Joining us from England is top level professional rugby referee, Tom Foley. He oversaw 48 Internationals, four Champions Cup finals, a staggering 200+ Premiership matches & 4 Premiership Finals. His crowning glory was as the video referee (called TMO in rugby) in the 2023 Rugby World Cup Final between New Zealand and South Africa. This man knows how to handle high pressure situations. It was great to have my preconceptions shattered by such a good guy. Enjoy...You can read mo...
Episode 100. Joining us from England is former soldier, writer, director and producer, Tom Petch. He got into the movie business after serving in the British Army, spending time in the Special Forces. We talk about the movie business and military history. Tom has written a book called 'Speed. Aggression. Surprise: The Untold Secret Origins of the SAS'. He went deep into the archives to research the real story how the SAS was formed. If you're a fan of military history or the BBC show Ro...

Financial risk manager by day, prolific writer by night, James has produced 5 novels, a novella and a short story over the past 9 years despite holding down a full time career.

Enjoy…Check out all James’...
Episode 98. Joining us from Koh Samui, Thailand, is author and security specialist Darren Franklin. He's written 3 books about his experiences and they're all crazy. Darren used to travel the world rescuing kidnapped kids. Who knew that was even a job? He also used to run an immigration detention facility in Australia - a political hot potato. Cracking stories. The man's led a very interesting life. Enjoy...Find Darren's books on Amazon https://www.amazon.de/stores/Darren-John-Franklin/author...
Episode 97. Joining us from Australia is environmental consultant, wine maker and entrepreneur, Tom Davies. Pollution is a huge problem in our world and the thought of combating it can feel overwhelming. We discuss solutions and cover other topics such as cleaning up the oceans, climate change, wine making and his recent week spent in the jungle. Tom and I went through Army officer training a long time ago. Great to reconnect with an absolute gentleman. Enjoy...Check out what Tom's up to http...
Episode 96. Joining us from the north of England is campaigner and lobbyist for the rights of folks living in the countryside, Ed Swales. Ok, it's rant time. In light of the massive Europe-wide protests by farmers (which I'm fully behind), I wanted to get Ed to come on and give a better insight on it. I can't get my head round why governments have gone to war against farmers. Do they expect us to eat bugs or something? In the process we discuss hunting, corrupt politicians and the menace of h...
Episode 95. Joining us via the remote jungle of India is Matt Hill, former officer in the Parachute Regiment. Every 18 months, Matt leads diverse groups of people for a week's hiking and living rough 'army style' in remote jungles around the world. He's just back from Arunachal Pradesh - the most remote jungle in the world. Have to say, I like the sound of it. He's planning his next one in 2025 and it's bucket list stuff. Good guy Matt. Enjoy... Follow Matt's adventures on Insta https://www.i...
Episode 94. Joining us from Rome is Classical Archaeologist, Darius Arya. This subject has gained a lot of attention on social media lately - so I figured it was time to get Darius on the show. He's a big deal in this field and really knows his stuff. What are the similarities between the end of the Roman Empire and the current state of the West? Do we have front row seats to the end of the Western Empire? Was Pontius Pilate born in Scotland? Top quality content. Enjoy... Check out Darius' we...
Episode 93. Joining us from Dallas, Texas, is World Famous author of countless books and past life regression therapist, Shelley Kaehr. It's a subject I've been interested recently and I'm very lucky to be talking to one of the best. We discuss reincarnation, Karma, the Akashic Records and many other things you don't normally bring up in polite society. Shelley is a fascinating lady and it was a great pleasure to speak with her. Ultimately, we're here to help each other so let's turn th...
Episode 92. Joining us from the South of France is entrepreneur and Oatly co-founder, Bjorn Oste. Originally launched by his brother Rickard in the 90s, Oatly transformed into a global brand with a remarkable $10 billion IPO in 2021. Building on their mantra of food-as-medicine, they launched their latest company called Aventure with a new beverage named GOOD IDEA. This drink is proven to reduce blood sugar spikes when taken before meals. We talk about the early days of Oatly and their new dr...
Episode 91. My friend, regular guest, former colleague and performance coach, Lindsay Bruce, returns for an absolutely dynamite podcast. Lindsay's life-long journey of self improvement led to him investigating psychedelics and other plant medicines. In fact, he's just got back from a 12 day ayahuasca retreat in Ecuador. With searing honesty we delve deep into his transformative experience. What is our life's purpose? Is there a better way ahead for humanity? How can we deal with loneliness an...
Episode 90. Joining us from Exeter, England, is Professor Martin Jones. He's one of the best performance psychologists in the business and has a Master's in Sleep Medicine from Oxford. I spent most of my time at university sleeping and I didn't even get a degree. Martin works with specialist military units and the best athletes around. Sleep, nutrition and exercise are the foundations of good health yet I've neglected sleep most of my adult life. This was a real eye opener. We spend about one...
Episode 89. Joining us from England is an old Army colleague and serial overachiever, Ash Alexander-Cooper. He's packed so much into his life it would take many podcasts to do it justice. Now a former Colonel; he was a Gurkha Officer, combat helicopter pilot, Specialist Military Unit officer, wounded veteran - now successful businessman and public speaker. He's been in the thick of it in combat hotspots all over the world, getting blown up and shot. Now Ash has written a book which offers pra...
Episode 88. Joining us from England is my old friend and colleague General Charlie Herbert. We served together in the Royal Highland Fusiliers (Now 2 SCOTS), although only one of us went on to have a glittering career. Charlie is unusual because he originally joined the British Army as a Private, then became an Officer, ultimately ending his career as a Major General. We discuss Afghanistan, Ukraine and then the current situation in the Middle East. I must point out we approach these hot pota...
Episode 87. Joining us from Malta is Producer, Production Manager and Assistant Director, Colin Azzopardi. He's currently working on season 3 of my new favourite show, Foundation (free on AppleTV+). Colin's also worked on major Hollywood movies and blockbuster TV shows like Game of Thrones and Medici. We talk about the complexity involved in producing the entertainment we like, especially the best ones. Enjoy...Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/misterkindness_podSubscribe on Yo...
Episode 86. Joining me 'live' in Verbier, Switzerland, is my good friend and top chef, Gerwin Brand. We discuss all things cooking and food in general. He learned his trade from the best chefs in the business in high intensity 3 star and 2 star Michelin-rated restaurants, so he really knows his stuff. I had no idea how complicated it is to operate at such a high level. Apart from cooking, Gerwin's passion is baking sourdough bread way before it was trendy. His latest obsession is making panet...
Episode 85. The remarkable Krish Thapa is back. He spent 19 years as a monk in Nepal, served as a Gurkha in the British Army, was one of the first two Gurkhas ever to pass Special Forces selection - and he's also one of my spiritual advisors! Krish is now a mountain guide, recently helping fellow Gurkha, Hari Budha Magar, to summit Mount Everest. It's an astonishing story because Hari is the first above-the-knee double amputee to do it. Krish also gives us some eastern spiritual wisdom as I p...
Episode 84. Joining us from Scotland for another classic seafaring adventure tale is ocean rowing legend, Leven Brown. After 2 years of delays, he finally got to the start line of his expedition to row the Northwest Passage. Why would anyone want to row from the eastern coast of Canada, over the top into the Arctic Circle then on to the west coast of Alaska? Even in August it sounded horrendous: bitterly cold, rough seas and high winds. Plus an unwelcome encounter with a polar bear (and Great...
